Tech
Tip: Find Outlook® Email Conversations |
|
 |
|
We've
all done it: emailed back and forth with someone over several
days, and then lost track of the one email in the sequence that we
really needed. Here's help:
You can organize your Outlook® emails by conversation (also called
"message thread"). Click on the folder that contains your
messages. Then, click on the View menu at the
top of the screen, then Arrange
By, and select Conversation.
Your folder will rearrange itself into heading titles that
are composed of the subject line, and, in brackets, the number of
emails that make up the conversation. Under each heading are
all the emails that are part of the conversation.
To go back to the default view when you're done, click on the Received header bar
at the top of the folder window.

Article:
All About VoIP |
|
 |
|
Yikes,
another acronym! You
might like this one, though, because it
can save you money – a lot of money, in fact.
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol,
and it lets you use your
internet connection instead of your phone to call people. That means free access
anywhere in the world
– no more long distance charges!
That’s
enough
information for many people, and use of VoIP services is on the
rise.
Some people are even getting rid of their home phones
completely. Why
pay for telephone line rentals and charges when you can use your
internet service instead? And you can even see the person
you’re
talking to – all for the price of a cheap webcam.
But
wait, there’s a catch. Several,
actually.

Route 40 Soup Company,
146 Main St. NW, Turner Valley, AB - (403)
933-7676
Natalie Stratton of Inside Leadership says, "If you're headed down
south, stop at the Route 40 Soup Company, in an old house in Turner
Valley. The wraps and soups are handmade and delicious, and
be sure to
try the “road chips” – 3 kinds of
potatoes, deep fried and seasoned,
served with a dip. But it gets better. On
Friday and Saturday nights,
the owners kick it up a notch by serving gourmet meals.
Don’t miss it!

Here's breath
of "down home" for you
Maritimers: Scots Bay, Nova Scotia, off the Minas Basin (part
of the
Bay of Fundy) at low tide. Only a few hours ago, those boats
were
bobbing on the water...
